Women’s basketball: Drake lights up Wisconsin with outside shooting

This is not the type of result Wisconsin women’s basketball head coach Bobbie Kelsey had hoped for in year five.

Wisconsin (1-1) fell to Drake (2-0) Wednesday night 89-70 at the Kohl Center.

After defeating the Badgers last year and entering the game with a win against Iowa State, Drake looked like the well-oiled machine Wisconsin hopes to become.

Drake started the game hot, scoring the first eight points, and never trailed at the Kohl Center en route to the win.

The Badgers defense forced 23 turnovers on the night, but allowed the Bulldogs to shoot 43 percent from beyond the arc in what proved to be the deciding factor.
